Oil changes represent some of the most important regular maintenance tasks you need to perform on your new Mazda to maintain it properly. With full synthetic oil, you’ll need to change the oil around every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, depending on your make and model.
We’ll go over our guide to how long an oil change takes at our service center and if you go DIY.
Most oil changes at Mazda of Orland Park near Tinley Park will take less than an hour of your time. For a better idea of wait times, contact us, and we’ll be happy to help you. We’ll give you an idea of how long your wait time should be. Our team will get you back on the streets of Oak Forest quickly! However, we should say that weekday lunchtime is popular because many people get an oil change on their lunch breaks!
When performing an oil change on your own, the time it takes can vary. Set aside at least an hour to take care of everything for your oil change. But it can take more or less than that.
Before you start your first DIY oil change, purchase 5 quarts or more of new oil, a new oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, correctly sized wrenches, a jack to keep your vehicle raised, and wheel blocks to prevent your vehicle from rolling. Then, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for changing the oil.
You may find it takes less time and costs less to bring your vehicle into a dealership like Mazda of Orland Park when it’s time to replace your vehicle’s oil. If you’ve got a busy schedule, bringing your vehicle into our service department can give you more time in your week. It’s also less of a headache to let our expert technicians handle an oil change.
We highly recommend Mazda genuine full synthetic oil for every oil change. Full synthetic oil is more expensive than conventional oil, but your engine will stay cleaner and last longer. Plus, you won’t need an oil change as often with full synthetic oil. Our staff will ask you what you prefer.
Make sure you read the grade of oil your vehicle needs. A car might need a different grade of oil than an SUV. Also, if you plan on spending a lot of time in a cold climate during the winter, consider a different grade of oil that can withstand lower temperatures.
